[QUOTE="Dirty Savage, post: 325021, member: 10384"] [FONT=Palatino Linotype]Oh come on guy, you gotta admit you just love the feeling you get when you are walking up someone's steps with a package that has been so lovingly annihilated by the UPS system. God, that's sweet! Lately, though, if I get something that is so badly mangled I don't even bother taking it out of the building. I just scan it as non-delivery, other, damaged and take it to the clerk. Though that does not guard against situations wherein you have a damaged package thrust into your lap.
